Cégep de Sept-Îles will receive a $4M donation over two years from the Iron Ore Company, a joint venture led by mining company Rio Tinto, to support the construction of a new pavilion. The pavilion will be devoted to training, research, and innovation activities related to the railway, industrial maintenance, and smart energy sectors. The cégep will also use the funds to promote training opportunities in local Indigenous communities and create a special cohort of learners that will have immediate employment opportunities upon graduation.
